From youth performances to injury status, former manager had no clue We love listening to David Unsworth speak to the media. His passion for Everton and everything around the Club makes us all very happy. In addition, it also tells us that during the last days of the ill-fated tenure of Ronald Ko...

We’re starting to feel like a club again. Whether or not David Unsworth has what it takes to be the permanent manager at Everton remains to be seen. However, even in a loss and the aftermath of it I think he has shown he is the right man to lead Everton until the end of the season. Unsworth came...

It’s still uncertain whether he would be allowed to, however. Henry Onyekuru has again talked up the possibility of cutting short his loan at Anderlecht and returning to Everton in January. Onyekuru joined the Toffees from KAS Eupen in the summer but was immediately loaned out to Anderlecht for t...

David Unsworth’s first match in charge is a league cup match against the defending Premier League champions. Ronald Koeman is gone, and it is about time.

The disciplinarian had reportedly gone too far.

There has to be better options out there, surely? One of the reasons why I was wary of Everton sacking Ronald Koeman was the lack of an obvious replacement.

Don’t get too excited. So, naturally, with Ronald Koeman gone, the plan is very simple - Everton are going to hire Carlo Ancelotti, sign Robert Lewandowski in January, and then win the FA Cup, the Europa League, and finish top four in the Premier League, right?
